Ace of Aces: The Dick Bong Story

There is a lot more to being an Ace than flying an airplane. Richard Bong was a natural and he was in the right places at the right time. This is a good story which covers many of Bong's adventures and tells much about his famaily. There are many qoutes from his letters home. In one leter he tells how he and Tommy McGuire had lost thousands of dollars in a poker game, probably enough to buy a new home after the war, but who cared about money when you were risking your life every day in combat. I wrote THE LAST GREAT ACE and it dovetails with this book, telling the story of America's number two ace, Tommy McGuire.Since this book is hard to find General Kenney's book "Richard Bong, Ace of Aces" might be one to read.
